Synopsis
After 15 years of marriage, Koen and Magda are in crisis. She is in a deep depression, neglecting their daughter and herself. Finally she has a full-blown nervous breakdown that puts her in hospital. When she comes home, Koen asks Magda what he can do for her. Magda confesses a secret she has been keeping for 30 years: she has masochistic fantasies and wants her husband to inflict pain on her. Koen is confused and nervous, but, more than that, he is in love with his wife. The couple visit an S&M club and begin a journey of physical and sexual discovery. Magda feels a great sense of relief, followed by the kind of happiness she never knew existed. Koen is a judge in Mechelen, but when their sex lives accidentally become public, a prosecutor investigates and the family is thrown into the spotlight of public debate on privacy and the law.
